Thrive to spite them

I hate my life right now. I can't file a state extensions for my income tax without knowing info that' son my w2. Which I can't get copies of. The only information work can give me tells me I'm locked out. I've tried look for the paper copies and I do'nt have them.

In the mean time I got a cheap phone to use until I can get my fixed and I can't get that to work at all.

And matthew and his mom got in a fight, or rather Matthew blew up at his mom because she wanted to switch out the curtains in the living room and instead of asking her to see what curtains they were he just started being really belligerent -- no I'm sory that's not the right way to put it -- he got verbally abusive towards her == about how the curtains we have up now are light blocking and she doesn't understand that and something else.

Except the fucking curtains she wanted to put up are light blocking and she only is putting them up while she washes the ones that are up now. But I got mad and yelled at both fo them and then Matthew got his feelings hurt and stormed out.

And it's my day off and I ust want a day off where I don't feel like I have to play referee or deal with something and I'm going to get in so much trouble because I ahve until tomorrow to file my taxes and I can't get the information to do that

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

But like, we aren't really the problem are we? - the mask wearing mostly stay-home people. It's people not wearing masks and having 30 people over and people not changing behaviors at all.

This is what's pissing me off today. If everyone had just stayed home for all of April, we might have been OK. But no. And now everyone is sick of restrictions but the problem isn't gone! So those of us who stayed home are still staying home while the national situation gets worse and worse.

And I feel guilty not supporting local businesses, but I also don't want to do things that are unnecessary! But I still want there to be a nail place in the future, you know?? And I can't stand not doing anything unnecessary for another four months.

I'm sorry, askye. That all sounds brutal.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Argh, askye, that is a lot. I know missing the tax deadline is stressful and scary but if you can contact the IRS and let them know (their website is not super user friendly but there is good information there) that you are TRYING to file they can be pretty understanding. I happened to notice in the information that came with my payment plan information that there's no late penalties (money-wise, anyway) if you pay within 60 days of the deadline, if that makes you feel any better.

This is what's pissing me off today. If everyone had just stayed home for all of April, we might have been OK.

As my country is proving these days, staying at home for a lockdown and rushing back to open almost everything is not a great approach either. The new "emergency" government did not put in place many of the means necessary to control the plague (from stopping the chain of infection to informing the public), so we are on the verge of a second lockdown now (as in: there will be one. The question is when - from this weekend or sometimes next week).

Also, ~ma to all Buffistas. And happy birthday, Zen!

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty

I sometimes feel guilty for eating things in my freezer because they are for .. eating..but later.. and I don't know why I feel bad.

I swear, the zombie apocalypse (or the threatened meat shortage) are really undue influencers of how I consume my groceries.

Like you are taking it from Future You Who might really need it? I get that sometimes. Also taking the last one of anything. Extremely silly since I live alone and share food with no one!

Also this!

So.Much.This.
